📑 Nominee agreement
A nominee agreement is a document in which one party agrees to hold property or assets for another party. The agreement sets forth the terms and conditions under which the property or assets will be held, and may also include provisions for the transfer of the property or assets back to the original owner.

Nominee Agreement (LTIP inc. Holding Period)
The agreement establishes a formal arrangement between the Issuer and the Nominee, whereby the Nominee is appointed as the legal owner of certain shares or assets held on behalf of the Issuer, typically for the purpose of administering a LTIP or other incentive plan. The Nominee's role involves holding the shares or assets on a temporary basis and executing any necessary transactions or transfers upon the instructions of the Issuer.
The agreement addresses various important aspects, including the specific terms and conditions of the LTIP, such as the vesting schedule, performance criteria, and any bonus or incentive arrangements. It also outlines the minimum holding period during which the Nominee must retain control and ownership of the shares or assets, ensuring alignment with the LTIP's objectives of promoting long-term commitment and value creation.
Furthermore, the template typically covers provisions related to voting rights, dividend payments, and any restrictions or transfer limitations imposed on the Nominee during the holding period. It may also address potential scenarios like termination of the agreement, change in control events, or the possibility of nominee substitution or removal under certain circumstances.
By utilizing this legal template, both the Issuer and the Nominee can establish a clear understanding and legal framework for their working relationship, ensuring compliance with relevant UK laws and regulations governing nominee arrangements, LTIPs, and holding period requirements.
